Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Now is an especially fantastic time to be an obnoxiously loud supporter of art by trans and queer creators. Particularly the art that doesn’t bend over backwards to make itself as “safe” and palatable as possible for a “mainstream” audience.

There is an INTERACTIVE choose-your-own-path STAR TREK LOWER DECKS comic out now at a bookstore near you, and it's funny AND heartfelt AND will blow your mind AND ALSO make you feel... emotions?? Sounds wild but that's where we are right now!!

Having a fantastic time at my first in-person GDQ, and I’m learning SO MUCH. ✨

I saw the Sunset Boulevard revival last weekend and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Absolutely perfect show for me personally— musical theater guy AND film guy — to watch. I hardly knew anything going in and it FLOORED me.

I had to get off tiktok for [static noises] reasons but that does mean I was entirely unaware of the New Jersey Drone Situation until this morning.

I think I simply won’t ever add my job titles to my bio here I think maybe that was a step in the wrong direction over on Twitter. This isn’t work this is inconsistently typing nonsense into a tiny window.

It’s @massmice.bsky.social Day Two: the MICE-ening 🧀🐁
December 8, 2024 at 6:02 PM
I love MICE with all my heart but it’s so hot in the building that I’m currently standing outside in a tee shirt to intentionally blast myself with winter air, storing it for strength and endurance

ScreenRant did a cool write up about the Zuko manga I co-wrote w/ @benwilgus.bsky.social that was drawn by @spacecoyotl.bsky.social The article get the credits wrong but otherwise it’s neat that people are still discovering this Avatar: The Last Airbender oddity. screenrant.com/avatar-the-l...

Sometimes I worry I’m losing touch with my cartoonist roots, but I just now texted a friend to say “clouds are the trees of the sky” so maybe I’m fine actually.

If you would like a copy of the Strange Beast Tarot by the holiday season, I suggest ordering it soon! I am very proud of this project, which is full of strange creatures, all done in hand painted watercolor and bearing the messy marks of human made craft.

Morale is fantastic at the office. Love my colleagues. Getting better at typing one-handed.

Currently facing down the unfortunate reality that if I’m going to have a new comic for MICE, I do actually have to like….draw it.

I’m that nerd who’s made comics for a long as I can remember, but I started taking it seriously when I was maybe twelve or so? Early 90s ninja turtle comics made me like this.
At what age did we all start comics?
